💖 ptp_clock_event(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ and today's main character is ptp_clock_event — no cap, this is the little function that tells the PTP layer "hey, something happened!!" 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ptp_clock_event — notify the PTP layer about an event, like literally just deliver the news 📣

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ptp_clock_event (struct ptp_clock *ptp , struct ptp_clock_event
*event );

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 💅 a void return, so it gives you nothing back and honestly? iconic behaviour 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ptp — the clock you got from ptp_clock_register. yes, THAT clock. the one you already registered. don't show up with some random clock, i'm begging 🙈
• event — the message structure describing the event. it's giving "the tea, in struct form" 🍓 — it literally describes what went down.
